Core Courses

Biochem 285 – Cellular & Molecular Biology

Prerequisites: Bio 151 and Bio 152 with a grade of C or better, and Chem 111 (or 121H) and Chem 112 (or 122H) with a grade of C- or better.
This is the first Biochem course that BMB majors take.
Bio 285 and Ansci 285 are equivalent courses, meaning they will also count toward the Biochem 285 requirement.
A grade of B- or better is required to continue in the BMB major.

Chem 261 – Organic Chemistry I
- Prerequisite: Chem 112 or Chem 122H with a grade of C- or better.
Chem 262 – Organic Chemistry II
